Is the following sentence correct and natural?

I have a plan better than no plan to do anything.
 
No, and I have no idea what you're trying to express. Can you explain it in a different way?
 
It makes pretty good sense to me. The speaker means that his/her plan is better than a plan not to do anything.

It sounds quite sarcastic, if that's the effect you're going for.
 
I accept that that's the intended meaning (although it would have been good, as always, for the OP to explain it themselves) but it's not naturally worded.

I have a plan - it's better than having no plan!
